i can pedal great..short super steep climbs..no problemo. i descend fine..as fast i am comfy with..
what i suck at are the little tricks that help.. tricks the trials guy do.
i just learned what a "manual" is..this trick is crucial because it is the first half of a bunny hop..which is the second move i suck at.
lifting my back tire and and stopping..okay..maybe. but doing a stoppie and letting the front wheel roll..super cool move on downhill switchbacks too tight to turn into. i followed a high school kid and he smoked me and made it look effort-less in the process..
(i did find comfort that i was going to drink a beer afterwards and he was probably drinking milk..that his mom was buying him
)
but i need to figure out some of this stuff. youtube makes it look to easy.
seriously..google mtn bike "manual" super cool!!! why didnt i figure this out when i was younger??!!
and how the eff do you do a track-stand?
